It's a great mug shot, but he looks too old. IMO, that's how he would look during the actual series. I can't remember his age, or if it was ever stated, but I'd think he'd be around 20-25 at the oldest during Robert's Rebellion. That guy looks to be at least 40.

From what I know, Eddard's hair is black. Or was it dark brown? I don't remember. I bet on black, though. And he was 25 by the time A Game of Thrones happened.

I would hope that Eddard Stark would be considerably older than 25 in A Game of Thrones, since his eldest son Robb is 15. That would put Eddard at being 10 years old when he fathered Robb and led the North to war, no less that he somehow held his own in combat against Arthur Dayne at the Tower of Joy.

I think that him being in his thirties is most likely. He's supposed to be younger than Brandon, so it's believable that he was only 16 or 17 when he married Catelyn and fathered Robb, then went to war. Or even 15, it leads to an interesting correlation since Robb marries, fathers a child and goes to war when he's 15.

His hair is dark brown.

Oh, never mind. I checked and apparently he's 35 in a Game of Thrones, so he'd be 20 in the rebellion.

Dark brown - I'm super sure he was older than 25 when GoT happens because he had children with Catelyn - Brandon was going off to marry Catelyn when they took Lyanna (I am super sure Rhaegar/Lyanna eloped btw); and like, he changed his course to King's Landing to get her back?

But like, Robb is 16? 17? ish by the time GoT happens so that means he'd have to be between 39 and 45 when GoT happens.

Yeah, they're right. He looks like GoT!Ned in my thing.

Well, I can tell this flashback style so I can still use this sprite XD

Removing his beard would probably solve the problem for his age though.

Robb is specifically mentioned to be 15, Ned is listed as being 35 on the aSoIaF wiki and it's plausible enough.
